We are five gifted kids of street dance
and we were chosen to create a unique show
inspired by the greatest artists in the World of Street Art
Salah is guiding us in this quest
right in the heart of the greatest hip hop cities in the world
this is our story
Close your eyes... there
Breathe in
Can you feel Berlin?
Sometimes for the session beginning stretches
we lie down on the ground and feel the vibes of the city.
Berlin is the Supercity for inspiration
and the artists come from all over the world
They say this is the place to be in Europe
Cuz here, you never stop and try it all
Here, there’s no failure, but only attempts
And no one’s gonna call you a failure
The only thing they can call you here is a chicken for not trying
And yet we were wondering if we were gonna find some inspiration
if we’d find enough of it on the way.
And you know what, we just found a load of it!
But the kinda weird stuff you were thinking of,
not the inspiration you’re waiting for or expecting
and that comes out of the blue just before you fall asleep
Here, inspiration ‘s a total new thing
A total risk-taking kinda thing
Always go for it. Practice
Go, go for it!
And we dance non‐stop, with no questions asked and with no concepts
We just dance like we’re clay modeling.
We find the way while doing
by daring, always more.
Inspiration no longer is that thing that comes from nowhere
inspiration has gotten into us
Open your eyes
Look at Berlin
look at this non‐stop need for invention
What your eyes can and what they can’t.
The city beneath the city.
The stars of street art and the stars of the underground
You go through a door and end up in a huge squat
right in the middle of downtown
Graffiti artists have whole buildings just for them
and the doors of the workshops are always open
Now we’re walking through Berlin
Fell how everything here’s telling us to keep faith
Faith in dance, faith in us, faith in our crew
Feel in the energy of our project
Everything here’s telling us to hand that faith over to the others
inspire them too.
We gonna get there
Up to this place were ours bodies will lift us up
Up to how much ours muscles can take
Up to there
Now open your eyes slowly
Look at things being created
look at the world
look at its beauty
